However, the club has announced that against the Swans, Jose Mourinho's men will wear black armbands to pay tribute to the victims of the tragedy.
''The #MUFC players will wear black armbands on Sunday in memory of the seven fans who lost their lives recently in Calabar, Nigeria,'' the club tweeted.
United who played a 0-0 draw against Manchester City on Wednesday need a win against Paul Clement's men to boost their chances of qualifying for next season's Uefa Champions League.
They are fifth on the log with 64 points after 33 games. Swansea are in the relegation zone with 31 points after 34 outings.
